At Sanctuary Supported Living, we believe great managers deserve great support.
As a Local Service Manager, you'll be backed by a network of specialist teams covering Quality and Excellence, Learning and Development, HR and Recruitment, Health and Safety, Finance, Business Support and more, giving you access to expert advice and practical support whenever you need it.

At Clover Court we support 20 people with physical disabilities and/or acquired brain injuries living in self contained flats. We are committed to enabling people to live as independently as possible within their own homes, promoting choice, dignity, inclusion, and community participation. Clover Court is a purpose-built, fully accessible environment designed to meet the needs of wheelchair users and individuals requiring a range of assistive technologies, ensuring each person can live safely, comfortably, and with maximum independence.

Alongside managing budgets and financial performance, you'll oversee the effective marketing of empty homes, while maintaining high standards of health and safety and regulatory compliance.
You deserve more than the basics. That’s why, alongside 33 days’ annual leave pro rata (rising to 38, including bank holidays), occupational sick pay linked to length of service, and a pension scheme matched up to 7%, we’ve created a package to help you thrive:

Sanctuary Supported Living is a trading name of Sanctuary Housing Association and Sanctuary Home Care Limited, both exempt charities.
We are Sanctuary.
We were set up more than 50 years ago and now provide housing and care in England and Scotland to more than a quarter of a million people, owning and managing around 120,000 units of accommodation. We exist to serve our customers and communities.
Our mission is to build affordable homes and sustainable communities where people choose to live.
We are a not-for-profit housing association, which means we don’t make profits for shareholders. Instead we invest all the income we make – every penny – into delivering on our social purpose.
We play our part in tackling the national housing crisis by building good quality affordable homes all over the UK. We build to a wide variety of needs and styles, with the aim of creating or adding to a sustainable community. Our regeneration projects transform communities by listening to residents and putting their needs first.
Social housing is at the core of what we do, and we believe secure, good quality accommodation can be the foundation that enables people to achieve their goals in life.
